i was just elected. the only thing i am honoring is the oath that i take when i serve when i am sworn in in january. >> chambliss already made a similar statement last week. the question is is this a real softening of positions? does it give them room to make deal. >> two things. first, let's look at the real room being created. so far i haven't heard anyone say i am willing to raise marginal tax rates as part of a deal. they're arguing with the head of the antitax coalition about whether closing loopholes is breaking the pledge. it is pretty narrow. it does show they're frustrated because they were sent to washington to negotiate, make deals, make things happen and they find themselves ham strung by this guy that voters haven't really heard of and saying who elected him? >> a lot just know they don't want to go off the fiscal cliff. here is the question. if republicans are building to eliminate deductions for wealthy, make the wealthy pay more, is it too far for democrats to push to get rates increased?

it's called an election victory. but i will believe when i see it that republicans beginning to agree to a tax increase. grover norquist's pledge, the idea that somehow these republicans owe more of an allegiance to grover norquist than to the constitution or the american people, that is becoming difficult for a lot of republicans to sustain. the other point is that a lot of the power of that pledge came in the idea in every republican's head that every other republican was going to abide to that same pledge. if republicans are starting to say openly they are not going to abide and they are not going to continue to pledge to grover norquist, then there is a possibility that norquist may disappear. like the wicked witch of the west, that just melts away. that could be grover norquist. >> just throw water on the pledge, it just kind of melts. >> it may be melting before our eyes, but i'm just not sure yet. >> they say taxes -- there's more agreement there than people thought. it's becoming about what will be the spendi
